Ordovician Granitoids and Silurian Mafic Dikes in the Western Kunlun Orogen, Northwest China: Implications for Evolution of the Proto-Tethys

The western Kunlun orogen in the northwest Tibet Plateau is related to subduction and collision of Proto-and Paleo-Tethys from early Paleozoic to early Mesozoic. This paper presents new LA-ICPMS zircon U-Pb ages and Lu-Hf isotopes, whole-rock major and trace elements, and Sr–Nd isotopes of two Ordovician granitoid plutons(466–455 Ma) and their Silurian mafic dikes(～436 Ma) in the western Kunlun orogen. These granitoids show peraluminous high-K calcalkaline characteristics, with(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i value of 0.7129–0.7224, ε_Nd(t) values of -9.3 to -7.0 and zircon ε_Hf(t) values of -17.3 to -0.2, indicating that they were formed by partial melting of ancient lower-crust(metaigneous rocks mixed with metasedimentary rocks) with some mantle materials in response to subduction of the Proto-Tethyan Ocean and following collision. The Silurian mafic dikes were considered to have been derived from a low degree of partial melting of primary mafic magma. These mafic dikes show initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of 0.7101–0.7152 and ε_Nd(t) values of -3.8 to -3.4 and zircon ε_Hf(t) values of -8.8 to -4.9, indicating that they were derived from enriched mantle in response to post-collisional slab break-off. Combined with regional geology, our new data provide valuable insight into late evolution of the Proto-Tethys.     

东昆仑造山带早古生代—早中生代构造演化的沉积地球化学记录

东昆仑地区发育一套显生宙碎屑岩地层,包括下寒武统沙松乌拉组、中—上奥陶统纳赤台群、上石炭统—下二叠统浩特洛哇组、下三叠统洪水川组、中三叠统希里科特组以及上三叠统八宝山组。研究区砂岩的CIA值反映沙松乌拉组砂岩源区化学风化程度较高,其余各组砂岩源区化学风化程度较低。主量和微量元素研究结果表明各组砂岩源区以长英质岩石为主,包含少量中性成分。La、Ce、Th、U、∑REE含量和La/Sc、Th/Sc、Sc/Cr、La/Y比值指示沙松乌拉组和纳赤台群砂岩沉积环境为大陆岛弧或活动大陆边缘,浩特洛哇组砂岩形成于被动大陆边缘环境,洪水川组砂岩沉积环境为活动大陆边缘,希里科特组砂岩的微量元素含量及其比值接近于活动大陆边缘和被动大陆边缘,八宝山组砂岩沉积环境为活动大陆边缘。综合分析认为沙松乌拉组和纳赤台群砂岩形成于原特提斯洋俯冲阶段,浩特洛哇组砂岩形成于古特提斯洋持续扩张阶段,洪水川组砂岩形成于古特提斯洋俯冲阶段,希里科特组砂岩形成于陆(弧)陆初始碰撞阶段,八宝山组砂岩形成于陆陆全面碰撞—碰撞后阶段。

我们把沉积盆地的演化分为建设期和改造期两大阶段,并提出原型盆地恢复的两项主要任务为:重塑盆地建设期的种种特征(包括盆地边界、沉积环境、大地构造背景等)和研究盆地改造期的构造演化特征.对四川海相原型盆地原始边界的地震层析成像研究表明,其结晶基底的北界位于秦岭-大别山造山带下,西北界在松潘-甘孜造山带下,西界和西南界大致与...     

西昆仑库地北依莎克群玄武岩锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及构造意义

西昆仑山分为北昆仑古生代复合沟弧带和南昆仑地块,依莎克群的形成时代和构造归属一直存在争议,库地蛇绿岩的形成时代亦无定论。本文运用电子探针微区成分分析和锆石U-Pb测年方法,对库地北西奴山依莎克群底部玄武岩中锆石进行了分析。获得依莎克群玄武岩中锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄为519.5±1.2Ma,说明依莎克群玄武岩形成时代为中寒武世。与库地蛇绿岩构造环境和形成时代对比表明依莎克群玄武岩是库地蛇绿岩的组成部分,是原特提斯洋俯冲消减作用的产物。综合前人的年代学资料和本文成果表明库地蛇绿岩形成时代为中寒武世—晚寒武世。     

西昆仑甜水海地块南屏雪山早古生代花岗岩地球化学、Hf同位素特征及其壳幔岩浆作用

南屏雪山早古生代花岗岩体位于西昆仑甜水海地块东段,主要岩性为中粒含斑黑云母二长花岗岩(485Ma)和中细粒黑云母二长花岗岩(528Ma)。化学组成上,两者均具有高硅、富碱,贫TFe2O3、MgO和CaO的特征,属高钾钙碱性弱过铝质系列;微量和稀土元素组成上,两者均富Rb、Th、U、K、Pb和轻稀土,贫Ba、Sr、Nb、Ta、Ti和P,Rb/Sr、Rb/Ba、Nb/Ta和Y/Yb比值高,具有明显的Eu负异常,其Zr、Nb、Ce、Y等高场强元素均较之典型A型花岗岩偏低,综合地质地球化学特征的判别表明南屏雪山花岗岩应属高分异的I型花岗岩。中粒含斑黑云母二长花岗岩和中细粒黑云母二长花岗岩均具有较均一的正εHf(t)值(0.9~5.3和1.4~5.6)和中元古代的二阶段模式年龄TDM2(1118~1398Ma和1136~1396Ma),相似的地球化学特征和锆石Hf同位素组分暗示两者可能是同源岩浆演化的产物。结合区域构造演化历史,推测在早古生代原特提斯洋存在双向俯冲,南屏雪山早古生代花岗岩则是在早寒武世-早奥陶世(528~485 Ma)原特提斯洋持续向南的俯冲消减-碰撞造山过程中,诱导幔源岩浆上涌底侵下地壳,诱发区内中元古代新生地壳物质至少两次部分熔融(早寒武世和早奥陶世),并经历一定程度的分离结晶作用而形成的。     

Geology Along the Line from Yecheng to Shiquanhe and Tectonic Evolution of the Region Involved1

Abstract The geotraverse from Yecheng to Shiquanhe, on the western Qinghai – Tibet Plateau, totalling 1056 km in length, passes the western Kunlun Mountains and the eastern end of the Karakorum Mountains. The Chinese and French scientists made a joint investigation along the line from July to August, 1989. Based on the outcropped ophiolites, palaeontology, sedimentary facies, magmatism, tectonic deformation and metamorphism, the region involved may be divided from north to south into five terranes and four ophiolitic suture zones. The ages of these terranes have a tendency to become increasingly younger from north to south.     

云南保山东缘早古生代高Si花岗岩的成因及构造意义

对保山地块东缘高Si花岗岩开展矿物化学、岩石地球化学及锆石U Pb Hf系统研究,结果表明该高Si花岗岩为具钙碱性、强过铝质特征的S型花岗岩。锆石U Pb同位素分析表明,高Si花岗岩侵位于454 Ma,并含有800~1 100 Ma的继承锆石。锆石Hf同位素分析表明其岩浆锆石具有与青藏高原及东南缘同时代长英质侵入体相似的Hf同位素组成,暗示其相似的岩浆起源。矿物化学、同位素组成及Melts模拟计算结果表明,保山东缘高Si花岗岩为一系列复杂作用的结果：高硅花岗岩母岩浆起源于该区沉积岩部分熔融;熔体形成后经高度分异演化,在侵位过程中同化混染围岩;岩浆冷凝至固相线下部分矿物再平衡。保山东缘高Si花岗岩体与平河花岗岩体具相似年龄和地球化学特征,暗示它们之间可能存在类似的成因机制。     

Mid-IR (8–13 μm) images of the 21 μm,carbon rich proto-planetary nebulae

We present 9.7 and 11.8 m narrow band (/=10%) images of three carbon (C-) rich proto-planetary nebulae with an unusual 21 m feature: IRAS 07134+ 1005, IRAS 22272+5435, and IRAS 04296+3429. The images were taken at UKIRT using the Berkeley/IGPP/LEA mid-IR camera. All three objects have a bipolar shape adding to the existing evidence that C-rich PPNe are by nature bipolar. Furthermore, we find the same bipolar morphology in a previous study of the C-rich, young planetary nebula, IRAS 21282+5050. We believe these four objects form an evolutionary sequence which links the C-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with the C-rich planetary nebulae (PNe). From this evolutionary sequence, we conclude that bipolarity in C-rich PNe begins on the AGB and that the dynamical ages of these PPNe are in fair agreement with theoretical ages for a 0.6 M hydrogen burning core star.
